Austin Coaster Crawl Against Human Trafficking Saturday August 8

My friend Shelton is organizing a pub crawl this Saturday to raise awareness around human trafficking issues here in Austin. Here’s a snippet from the site:

Show up and help distribute coasters that tell the story of modern day slavery into bars, coffee shops and cafes in Austin.

This will be the first a several events in Austin and across the state. Please join us at BookPeople, 3rd Floor, on Saturday, August 8. At 4:00pm. Here’s the plan, we want you and your friends to come and enjoy an evening out, stopping at several different places over a few hours. Well…with one small difference, you will be asking establishments owners or managers to “host” the coaster campaign. “Host” just means the bar, coffee shop or café will take the coasters and put them out for patrons to use and read. We will have sign up sheets for you to take down the information of establishments you visit. On August 8th we will gather up at 4:00pm on the 3rd floor at BookPeople (6th & Lamar) get instructions on which establishments in which parts of town to hit and be sent out.
